Help double our efforts in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
I’m thrilled to announce another very special online-only giving opportunity — today, you can have twice the impact in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s Association supporter Tim Haynes has generously stepped forward with a $15,000 year-end matching gift challenge. That means if you give right now, your gift can go twice as far.
If we can raise $15,000 by December 31, Tim will donate that same amount to the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of his father, Jim, who died with Alzheimer’s. Your year-end donation of $35 can become $70, $60 can become $120, or your generous $120 can become $240.
Tim is very close with his family, but it wasn’t until he moved his aging parents into his own home that he realized the extent of his father’s mental decline.
“Some days he was very confused about where he was, and other days he was crystal clear,” recalls Tim. “At the time of his diagnosis, I found out about the Alzheimer’s Association. I did a lot of online research — you try to convince yourself it’s something else, something treatable. But he continued his slow decline.
“He was a very humble man,” says Tim. “And I think it’s an honorable thing to do, to make this matching gift in his memory. I think he would be very pleased.”
Tim invites you to join his commitment to the cause by making a tax-deductible gift today. Any amount you donate will support our mission to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
Please give today.
